I do realize that this is an old thread.

However, I also have a PRO-94 and the manual I have which I downloaded in PDF format states exactly what is stated in this thread.

Manual reads....

USING THE AUTO BACKLIGHT DISPLAY

You can set the scanner so the auto backlight turns on
for about 5 seconds when the scanner receives signals.
If you press a key (except the LIGHT BUTTON) within 5 seconds, the
display remains lighted for more than 15 seconds.

To turn auto backlight display on or off, turn off the scanner.
Then hold down LIGHT BUTTON and turn on the scanner. "on
Aut Lit" briefly appears when auto backlight is on. "OFF
Aut Lit" briefly appears when auto backlight is off.

I know that there are three versions of the PRO-94 and mine is the first version as it is not an A or B version.

I am wondering if this backlight display feature is only available on the later versions as my PRO-94 does not work when attempting this backlight feature.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread.

Found my answer. The manuals are different for the different versions and so are the features.

This backlight feature is not available on the original version.

Original Manual reads...

USING THE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT
To turn on the display light for easy viewing at night,
press BACKLIGHT BUTTON .The display lights for 15 seconds. To turn
off the light sooner, press BACKLIGHT BUTTON again.
